Team 6429 organized an unofficial Kick-Off event with the attendance of both FRC and FLL teams. Through various presentations and workshops about mechanics, programming, advertisement, awards, public relations and safety; 4D formed a unity among FRC teams in the region.

We organized our second science camp at HUGOBOSS Factory as volunteers of Bilim Kahramanları Derneği. During these trainings, 4D had great fun with our youngsters while providing an opportunity to be included in STEAM activities.

As 4th Dimension, our mission is to empower next generations without any gender discrimination and with the help of the opportunities that FIRST and STEAM provide us. Concordantly, we organized our first seasonal STEAM DAYS activity at EBILTEM-TTO. The organization featured 7 professional speakers informing the audience of innovation, entrepreneurship, starting a business, industry 4.0 & society 5.0, STEAM in class, open innovation and design in business. Additionally, STEAM days powered by 4D strengthened the relations through attendance of two FRC teams (ACI 35 & Roctopus) and two FLL teams, one being our mentees.

Team 4th Dimension was featured in Milliyet News. Through media, we reached over 132,000 people by managing to expand our network and sharing our initiatives of raising dedication and commitment amongst the society.

In terms of environmental awareness, our application includes general information about carbon footprint, ways to reduce our carbon & water footprint, a survey and a carbon footprint calculator for FRC teams. Thanks to 4DEnvironment, we brought a new dimension for environmentalism in FRC.

Team 6429 organized the second seasonal STEAM Days event: Spring STEAM Days. In order to develop a better understanding of the importance of STEAM activities throughout the community, Spring STEAM Days drew attention to the principles of the 21st century. Furthermore, our event included speeches by experts about Industry 4.0, Society 5.0, education & technology relationship, discovering our talents, maker activities and the true meaning of happiness.

Team 4th Dimension started a project called “4DIMENSIONAL Science Magazine”. This project includes the publish of seasonal magazines that include assorted experiments for kids to encourage them in STEAM activities. In addition, a number of 10,000 4DIMENSIONAL Science Magazines are being distributed to children in disadvantaged areas around Turkey. Particularly, each experiment on the magazine has a QR code leading the viewers to the experiment videos which were shot by our team.

Team 6429 proudly presented its STEAM curriculum and Training of Trainers program to Güzelbahçe Directorate of Education: 4DCoding. The STEAM curriculum of 4D is now ready to be spread out to more children who are waiting to be shaped for the future.

As 4th Dimension, we were delighted to have our little friends as the graduates of “Inspire The Future” project, which we started on October 13, 2017 in Hamdi Dalan Primary School, Güzelbahçe Ali Bayırlar Middle School and kindergarten. During the year, we gave coding and robotics education with Ev3 and WeDo sets. Working with future scientists was a great experience for us. We learned a lot while we were educating them.

We organized “SCAMP Entrepreneurship and Innovation Camp” at Open Campus-Urla in partnership with Açık İnovasyon Deneği. With our friends (aged 15-18), 4D held their 3rd seasonal STEAM Day as Day 1 of SCAMP. Thus, we are planning to add this camp to our sustainable projects.

We represented our country as Team Turkey in FIRST Global Challenge which was held in Mexico. We were awarded with a bronze medal in Innovation in Engineering and Safety Award. Our accomplishment was also on newspapers. We have reached more than 300,000 people through social media.

We attended the GameX Off Season & Kickoff event. We exchanged ideas about our robot and interacted with other teams. Additionally, it was a platform in which we reached out more people from different areas.

4D took place at Izmir Maker Faire, which allowed them to have a stand and spread their mission of spreading the FIRST message alongside STEAM principles. Moreover, they contacted numerous renown foundations and companies.

We volunteered in LEGO Education STEM Days, organized by Teknokta. It was a great pleasure for us to encourage our youngsters to become future makers, coders and innovators through the path we’ve taken.
